You can hear it, fallow the sound to the leak.

You will also see "soot" at any hole or along a crack, 94

And just feel around. If you feel air coming from the exhaust you have your leak. most of the time its a simple gasket.

Search, Feel, or Listen. a lot of times you'll hear it. common places are the down pipe to mid (donut gaskets & flat plate gaskets), Exhaust Headers, etc. If you have a fully welded exhaust check for holes or cracks from deterioration.
